This is a space for my own, personal musings. Possibly I shall, at a later date, connect this to my company's website (http://www.disabilitysolutions.co.za) & "official" blog(http://disabilitysolutions@blogspot.com). But for now, it remains my own private observations, distinct from Disability Solutions.

It will be interesting to see how accessible the Olympics and Paralympics will be this year.

VOA News - China Prepares to Host Paralymics: "China is preparing to hold its first Olympic Games this year, and along with it, the Paralympics Games for disabled athletes. Chinese officials acknowledge that they are far behind in providing equal access for the country's disabled citizens, and they hope the games will help improve the situation. Daniel Schearf reports from Beijing."

The article goes on to say:

Beijing says, for the first time in Paralympics history, the city will pay all travel expenses for disabled athletes and team officials.
